The name Azerbaijan is a neutral name for the entire population, regardless of ethnicity, gender, philosophy, or religion. The name comes from Atropadegan. The languages ​​recognized in Azerbaijan are: • Turkish Azerbaijani • Russian Azerbaijani • Kurdish Azerbaijani • Tali Azerbaijani • Lezgi Azerbaijani • Avar Azerbaijani • Tat Azerbaijani • Udi Azerbaijani • Armenian Azerbaijani • Georgian Azerbaijani • English Azerbaijani • Azeri Sign Language

Stop it. Just stop it. So you're just going to ignore khojaly? 1 million displaced azeris? If you're going to blame us for our mistakes (which we didnt), then blame armenia equally. oh I know why, because armenia is a Christian country, well guess what? This conflict is not about religion, it's about land. I don't know if this will impact your greek mind but I hope it respectfully does

i am an atheist and couldn’t care less about religion, plus i know azerbajan is a secular country, but iran which is a muslim country still treats armenians as humans, so maybe take example of them, no matter how much you try to destroy and erase armenian history like you did in julfa, or claim the medieval armenian churches you forgot to destroy under your occupation are “ancient albanian”, i know those lands are historically armenian.

View on Reddit #55290912

Civil_Aside_6075@reddit

Do you know why they are called armenian? Because the people who live in the geographical area called "armenia" identify themselves as armenian. However, they call themselves "hayks" which are a different ethnic group who migrated to the region. The armenians you are mentioning in history are way different than the ethnic group living in the area. Feel free to ask questions 
View on Reddit #55292290

PONT05@reddit

what’s the point you’re trying to make? yes they call themselves as something different than the english word we use today, same way as albanians call themselves shqiptars, but they’re still very much armenians or hayks, and are native to their lands unlike you the oppressors who inhabit their land and destroy their legacy.
View on Reddit #55292549

Hayks were a different ethnic group In other parts of Asia. There were no shqiptars outside of Albania. The real inhabitants of Albania are them, but for armenia, hayks migrated there

We have been through enough g\*nocides, pain, hate and bullying, for you people to just believe we are the bad guys, just because Armenians told you so. And we have helped enough nations during their fires and earthquakes and wars etc, even those that do not like us (France, Greece, Lebanon, the US etc). Please be grown adults who do research before drawing conclusions and making their final decision. We are not the murd\*rous, g\*nocidal and barbarian islamists our enemies would have you believe. We are a country with endless nations and many religions living under one roof, while Armenia is 99% christian, 99% Armenian, very islamophobic, turkophobic, anti-semitic, and has 13 recognized ter\*orist organizations, the biggest of which (Asala) is located in Beirut. We are not like Turkey, or Russia, or Iran, just because we are between them. You can come and see for yourself, borders are always open, tourism is blooming, and you are welcome all year around (though April-May is the best time to visit, weather wise).

back in November 1990, Kechel had kidnapped a young Azerbaijani Popular Front activist from a village across the border, stealing his car, a red Jhiguli, in the bargain. The young Azeri, Syed, spent a month chained to the wall of a cottage near Yerevan. On New Year’s Eve 1991, Kechel and a couple of buddies, including a local police officer and their friend Ardag, dragged their captive to the top of Yeraplur, the burial hill near Yerevan. There they kicked Syed to his knees under a spreading tree next to the grave of a fellow fighter named Haroot. Then Kechel, a father of three children, began cutting Syed’s throat with a dull knife. At first Syed screamed, but after a while the screaming gave way to moaning and gurgling. Finally, when Ardag could no longer listen, he pushed a knife into Syed’s chest, putting an end to it. They drained Syed’s blood on top of Haroot’s grave and then left. Not long afterwards, a friend asked Kechel to be his daughter’s godfather. As the priest’s voice rose in hymn during the baptismal liturgy, Kechel heard Syed’s moans echoing through the church. Swooning, he interrupted the ceremony. “Could God ever forgive a person who had killed a dog out of revenge?” he asked the priest. The priest lowered his miter. “That depends,” he said, “Was it a four-legged dog or a two-legged dog?” # My Brother’s Road Markar Melkonian

Azerbaijan is closest to what people would refer as an artificial state in my opinion. In fact, it has the name Azerbaijan was adopted in 1918 to co-opt the name from the already existing region of Azerbaijan (in Iran), now called "South Azerbaijan" by nationalists. It was previously known as Arran, Shirvan, and (Caucasian) Albania.

Azerbaijani troops closed the Lachin Corridor, through which Karabakh Armenians had been receiving food, medicine, and fuel supplies from Yerevan. As a result, the region’s 120,000 inhabitants experienced acute shortages of basic foodstuffs and medicines, as well as water and electricity. This is merciless. Attacking a region and forcing its population to starve!
View on Reddit #48272162

wanderer_meson@reddit

There is lot of propaganda about this episode of war. They closed of Lachin corridor, however they were not intending to starve them off. I am not a fan of my government but they did really offer everything through Ağdam road which is fairly known fact but local authorities in Karabakh rejected this offer due to violating "souverenity". Moreover, Instagram was packed full of videos of weddings, birthday celebrations etc from restaurants when they were starving. When this was brought up suddenly all videos were deleted. Then there was another video where shop owner was showing empty food racks and you could see all moved to another side of the shop in reflection. Even Armenian blogger Roman Bagdasaryan was harshly accusing of authorities in Karabakh of artificially keeping food stocks closed to create an image of starvation. It is a dirty conflict with tricks from both sides. Unless you really immerse yourself in the following of all information sources you will be basing your opinion on biased narrative.

We literally funded the Azerbaijani military and supplied them with weapons.

There are also allegations of direct Turkish military involvement and while it's debatable if that's true, regardless of whether we send troops or not, we should not be involved in military conflicts of neighboring countries that do not concern or affect us. The most we should do should be to provide humanitarian aid to civilians and to perhaps set up buffer zones to prevent spillover into our land if needed. Other than that, we should not be involved.

Turkish Cypriots (not to be confused with settlers and military sent in 1974) literally have been living in Cyprus for nearly half a millenia. They have their own dialect, own culture distinct from the rest of Turkey. If that doesn't make them Cypriots, then according to your logic, most people in the US for example, are not Americans, since most of their ancestors were not the first inhabitants of that region

Brilliant-Grocery681@reddit

It is very rudimentary to call Azerbaijani people toxic and people are designed for killing Armenians wherever we see them and teaching our children for hatred against them and making it lifetime goal !imagine you are across the strangers and someone is accusing your family what would be your response, just praise them appreciate for that ?! excuse me but what would be your reaction if someone is accusing your people with something that they haven't done ?! It’s frustrating how quick some of you are to paint Azerbaijanis as extreme nationalists or racists toward Armenians, without acknowledging the toxic nationalism that exists in your own countries. So many people speak as if they’re experts on a complex, decades-long conflict, while knowing little about the actual pain and history involved. Do you think it’s fair to condemn an entire nation that’s suffered deeply from a war they never asked for? The reality is, innocent people on both sides—Azerbaijanis and Armenians—have lost their lives in this conflict. These weren’t enemies fighting for some grand cause; they were ordinary people, families, who deserved so much more than the violence and destruction that engulfed them. Whether they were Azerbaijani or Armenian, they were human, and their lives mattered. Instead of fueling hatred from a distance, try to recognize that both nations are trying to recover from immense pain. They deserve the chance to find peace and rebuild, without outsiders stoking the flames of division. This is about more than taking sides—it’s about human lives, and they all deserve respect.

Nakhichevan was always a part of Azerbaijan SSR as per Treaty of Moscow between Turkey and USSR, so nobody left anything to anybody.

Right, Turkey, a country that has never acknowledged the Armenian Genocide considers Azerbaijan to essentially be part of its territory. Now we know why the Armenians of Artsakh didn't just ask nicely. My point about the hydrocarbons is that Azerbaijan has a lot of them, providing it with both money and diplomatic cover. If Croatia had never acknowledged the Ustasha crimes then you'd have a point about Croatian feelings about Serbian irredentism.

Eoka attacked turks. Turks were living in enclaves, basically sieged by Greek nationalists. Greeks didn’t respect the 1960 constitution of Cyprus so much so that Turks abandoned the parliament in 1963. Greeks made a coup for Greece to absorb Cyprus. Turkey used her guarantor’s right to intervene to Cyprus, as she was legally entitled to by the 1960 agreement for Cypriot independence. None of this would have to happen if Greeks just accepted that Turks exist in Cyprus too. My own fathers life was fucked up because of Greek Cypriots.

I think you need to understand that Armenians are the absolute golden children of westoid reddit. Even if Armenia's entire government has been nothing more than a Russian proxy for decades and the Artsakh separatists were literally aligned with that of the Donbas "Republic", it doesn't matter because to Reddit they are Christians who are surrounded by big bad Turks. The fact that they murdered up to 20,000 Azeri civilians and displaced 800,000 from Azerbaijan's legally recognised territory in the 90s is completely ignored - or more likely, purposely ignored.

Fine enough as a culture, but their government is awful. Also, their feud with Armenia is way, way, over the top. Like, I get that you're mad about the border disputes, that's fair enough, but you do not have *nearly* enough material to justify things like turning an axe murderer into a national hero.
View on Reddit #48269852

wanderer_meson@reddit

Agree with the government comment however that murdered being a national hero is a myth circulated by Armenian propaganda. If you want to see an actual murderer and terrorist being hailed as a national hero, look no further than Monte Melkonian. But yes, our government is absolutely awful and corrupt 100%.

You realize they’re helping Russia evade sanctions by selling their oil back to Europe, right? Or that they signed a strategic agreement with Russia a day before the war in Ukraine started… they’re not on an anti-Russia position, they’re helping them out…
View on Reddit #48266636

Tsansome@reddit

They only pay lip service towards being anti-Russia. so as to avoid sanctions so they can continue to repackage Russian oil and sell. In the last conflict with Armenia they waited until the Russian ‘peacekeepers’ had retreated from their positions so that they could push forward. The downed plane is another example of this. Their cut-rate dictator postures a lot about going after Russia but does nothing.

Some of you really need to stop your lying to yourselfs and admit the fact that as Turks we are one of the most ethnically cleansed people. But as opposed to many others we refuse to play victim. We are patient. Anyway Azerbaijan people are lot more secular than we are here im Turkiye, clearly because of being ex-Soviet country. Just like us, democracy isn’t exactly there but I guess we really are not compatible with it. (saying this as self criticism as a people)

A fascist petrostate and kleptocracy with an extreme inferiority complex so severe that anything and anyone that doesn’t validate their fanciful perceptions of themselves is public enemy number one.

A better version of Turkey. I've met transfere uni students here from Turkey and Azerbaijan and the Azeries were always more cultured. Maybe because Turkey is more americanised. Also it's a shame that so many azeries live outside Azerbaijan and under the rule of the theocratic shithole of Iran

It's mostly because they previously experienced a harsher variation of state atheism due to the Soviet occupation. I mean, Turkey did experience state atheism to some extent in the past, but it wasn't as harsh as in the USSR.

Clearly the largest beneficiary of the Ukraine-Russia war. Just as Armenia was the biggest loser (aside from Ukraine itself). Now that Azerbaijan has recaptured all the territory it lost to Armenia after the breakup of the Soviet Union, it's next objective will be to reconnect it's own territory. That means capturing more Armenian territory to form a 'corridor to Nakhchivan'. This will also give Azergaijan a direct land route from Baku to Turkey, it's 'big brother'. This will eventually be used to build a gas pipeline from Baku to Turkey. Armenia, strategically speaking is in deep trouble. it has renounced Russia as it's traditional protector. And neither the EU or NATO has the willingness nor capability of protecting Armenia from Azerbaijan and the man behind the curtain (Turkey). I would expect the Fourth Armenian-Azerbaijan War to commence within the next five years.

Hate their government, love their people. Even though most people think that the Azerbaijani government sees Turkey as a brother nation, but I don't think in that way. I think that the government probably would Russia or any other superpower against Turkey, and their government is currently using Turkey. But I see Azerbaijani people as brothers and sisters, and their nation as a brother nation.
